# ci303 With Vostok-5 cosmonaut Valeriy Bykovsky

Photo taken in Star City with Cosmonaut-5 Valeriy Bykovsky (Vostok-5, Soyuz-22 and Soyuz-31/Salyut-6 commander).
40 years after his legendary joint flight with first woman cosmonaut Tereshkova (Vostok-5/6) Valeriy Fyodorovich Bykovsky kindly spent time with me to talk on his flights and to share collectible materials, including unique signed photographs and philatelic items from personal archives.
Second image depicts Bykovsky autographing limited edition presentation model of Vostok ship he flown 40 years ago.
Two of these models are already shared with National Air & Space Museum and Museum of Cosmonaut Training Center.
Few others will be available to private collectors soon on this site along with other items from Bykovsky.
